I havent tried it!! Thanks anyway!! I will try it soon!

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Hi dr ketan

Do you think flashing the bootloader will fix this or flash a kernel? I told you about this issue if you can remember! Anyway just want your opinion! Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
I have tried both recently.... fladhing bootloader is a waste of time and will not fix . But flashing thor kernel fixes screen flickering issue. Flash thor 0.15 lsi . There is new thor 0.16 lsi ... have not tried that yet but 0.15 lsi works perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
This is a known issue for international Note 2 flashing non TW rom.

AFAIK no solution yet.

You can still use the AOSP rom, it will boot, regargless that horrific flashing boot animation.

So it's up to you to use or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I have said that regarding bootloader will flash with PC odin

Screen issue hve nothing to do with bootloader, most probable cause is kernel/Recovery

wifi ...

Are any of you guys also facing wifi issues with almost all the custom roms you flash? Just wondering because i am(even with omega untill i turned off wifi powersave) ...???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
thor

thor kernel is banned from xda right??so you ddnt download it from xda-developers? and did you face any wifi issues with previous roms?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_elfeituri:
Solved

Thank u so much for ur help guys

i solved it by flashing thor kernel.

but i think im sticking with stock roms, i dont wanna lose multi window, air view and wifi-direct! "that's kinda why i bought it :D "

Nothing but clickbait
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
A incompetent writer wrote a sensationalist article with a sensationalist title to get more clicks. Just look at his older articles.

Who would have thunk?

edit: A "more" correct title will be "Google kills Android as a brand name".
[Nexus 4 General] minieod:
Was that written by a 7th grader?
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
I do too, but that's because 'Droids" are verizon-rebranded and they are historically gigantic piles of crap. I feel like comparing my nexus 4 to any phone verizon has called a droid is just an outright insult, honestly.

On the flipside, though, if a phone runs android or any android distro I use the blanket android term, similarly to how I use the term linux box for any pc running any linux distro ;)

[Nexus 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
You kind of have to look at Google's motives for Android in the first place. They saw the importance of the future of mobile and that iOS was in the process of owning it. They launched Android primarily to protect their advertising sales business and then started monetizing content sales through Play. So if their motivation is advertising and content sales what difference does it make whose name is on the physical device or if people know their device is "Android?" I'm sure they aren't pleased with the forking taking place (Amazon) or the overlays being added that F-up the update process (100MM Galaxy's sold) but at the end of the day their well positioned in mobile and raking in tons of profit from mobile advertising and content sales. Google makes the same in those categories whether the masses buy a “Galaxy,” “HTC Sense,” or a Nexus where Android’s still fairly prominent.

“Galaxy” now leads “Android” as a smartphone search term which kind of tells you what volume and marketing does for consumer brand awareness. Samsung Electronics spent $12B in marketing and promotion in 2012. HTC’s market capitalization (the value of the entire company) is only $8B. That amount of marketing spend buys you a lot of aided and unaided brand awareness.

"Samsung ‘Galaxy' has become a more popular search term than Android for web users searching for information about Android-powered smartphones, highlighting many handset makers' fears that Samsung is becoming bigger than the other Android manufacturers and that the smartphone market is slowly becoming a two-handset, rather than an operating systems, race."​

http://www.hindustantimes.com/techn...s-Galaxy-not-Android/SP-Article1-1009843.aspx
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
You need to look at this long term. Samsung definitely has the ambitions to become a new apple, i.e. build "their own ecosystem". OS (Tizen), advertising, app store etc etc.

As they already have hooked enough of users on their brand/touch wiz, next step will be to release tizen and make sure there is a certain mass of critical apps and after this samsung can start migrating users over.

Users don't give a damn if it is android/qnx/tizen/firefox os or whatever. As long as it looks the same and feels the same. Which what touchwiz is for.

So I guess el goog will need to do something if it is already not too late. Sadly the motorola is not the solution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] r4zer:
Hello,

Thanks for the support!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickleWound:
First off i want to thank you guys for all the help i've received for my various phones over the years, usually there is a thead for anything i need but i cant find anything on revol wireless.

I recently flashed my 2 S3's from verizon to revol(which i believe is like cricket?) my phone was rooted stock 4.1.1 vrblk3 my girl's phone was not rooted. my phone was done first, at revol the used houdinisoft to flash, passed first time no problems, make calls have internet and they put a houdinimms app on for picture msg. it didn't seem to work so i removed it but now mms doesn't seem like it wants to work most of the time, but my phone (mostly) works...

After using the service for a few days and seeing coverage was ok we decided to flash her phone went to the store and there was a different person there(big shock, I know)but she didnt really know what she was doing i suspect, anyway she tried and tried and kept getting fail after fail, called tech support after an hour and a half my daughter was restless and hungry and we had other errands to run so we left the phone and came back later. when we got back she said she got it, and just had to do a system update to get the internet working, COOL! well another hour goes bye and she gives up and says i should come back monday when the manager is there... i was just wondering, is there a better way to flash to a different provider? i have ODIN im comfortable flashing roms been doing that for years! i know I need a good PRL list, but short of that im stuck any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi all, coming from very bad experiences when it comes to brick, I would like to know what are the unbrickable (brickproof) devices (I searched the internet and read lg optimus 2x only, but it is a old device).

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geezer Squid:
There are a lot of phones that are "brick-resistent". But almost anything can be bricked if you do something dumb. In my opinion the important things to look for are: bootloader can be unlocked, rootable, custom recovery available, stock image available, software to install stock image (Odin, RSD, etc.). These guys can unbrick a lot of phones: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-jtag-brick-repair/ (this link is to their Note 2 page, but they provide the same service for other phones.)

Good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicholasQ:
Any nexus device. And besides being practically brick proof, it has many more features that make them better than any other Android phone. If you want to move along with the Android future, then you need a nexus.

LG Optimus 4X HD P880 is hard to bricked?

which of these smartphones is the most resistant to brick?

Lg optimus 4x hd?

Hi Brahmnoor,

I am now having an E975 with Singapore (STL) V10c.

Having tried many methods and still cannot get it rooted.

So, can you please send your E975 root tool to my email?

[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
Only 10a is rootable, the others have been blocked by LG so we have to wait for a new way to do it.

If you can find the KDZ for 10a you can downgrade and root.

I am on 10a now, if my device get rooted, will root be lost after upgrade to 10b?

The ZVB method in the Sprint forum works on 10b, so just use that if root didn't stick.

[LG Optimus G (International)] wargreymon89:
Did you try any other method before so you maybe have an old G_security file laying on you sdcard?

Also in the script it says

adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security"

And not

adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security

I Will look into it. Sounds possible.

Edit: Big thanks to wargreymon89. I did try one or two methods before trying the sprint one. It didn´t occur to me that I had this G_security file floating around and that it was "bad". All I had to do was delete this file and run the ZV9-ZVB-Root tool again, and...Viola!

Dunno what I should do without xda. Saved me a lot of trouble

I can confirm that this methode work for me with the E97510B EUR version on mine Optimus G F180L and after this I could install the BasebandL (for my F180L), each model had his own baseband file/tool.

I used first the Wipe tool, then the flash tool to install the E97510B then the root tool as above and the the baseband, everything work fine.
[LG Optimus G (International)] krankdroid:
so copy pasting is theft in your book?

but you still take fiddy619 root guide and paste it to your blog?

here is a quote:
[LG Optimus G (International)] antoniejanssen:
Take a root guide? Yes, thats why we put them on the internet, to learn and to share.

But I tried before the fiddy619, but it didn't work for my on the E97510B version, maybe it work for the E97510A, I don't know.

But when you edit the file CurrentRoot.bat file and change the line "adb shell touch /sdcard/G_security to"

"adb shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security" " and save the file and use it, then you can root a E975B version.

Currently I'm trying to run Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on my Note II

So far Ubuntu touch based on cm-10.1 it is quite simple to port to any device supported by cm.

For beginning there are some useful guides:

Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview - Porting Guide

How to Build CyanogenMod for Galaxy Note 2

And here we go:

First of all prepare the Build Environment

sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip bzr curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386 schedtool

Install phablet-tools

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:phablet-team/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools

To get the source code do bootstrap, it takes a looooong time and need about 15 GB of disk space

phablet-dev-bootstrap -j 4 ubuntu-touch

cd ubuntu-touch

Now we need to grab the n7100 specific git repositories.

In general we use CyanogenMode repositories with some changes made for ubuntu phone

For the moment I'm not sure whether it is all changes what we need, therefore I have fork them on git hub,

so just create a new file .repo/local_manifest.xml with content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="drapalyuk/android_device_samsung_n7100" path="device/samsung/n7100" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
<project name="drapalyuk/android_device_samsung_smdk4412-common" path="device/samsung/smdk4412-common" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
<project name="drapalyuk/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412" path="kernel/samsung/smdk4412" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
<project name="drapalyuk/android_hardware_samsung" path="hardware/samsung" remote="github" revision="phablet-10.1" />
</manifest>

repo sync -j4

Extract proprietary blobs, expected you have all ready installed CM-10 on your phone, if not Install CM for n7100

cd device/samsung/n7100
./extract-files.sh

If you want to speed up subsequent builds after this one

Turn on caching

export USE_CCACHE=1

Start the build

. build/envsetup.sh
brunch n7100

After successfully build N7100 zip installer will be placed into out/target/product/n7100/cm-10.1-<date>-UNOFFICIAL-n7100.zip

Installation instructions:

reboot in recovery

wipe

install the N7100 specific installer

install the Ubuntu 12.10 Touch Preview, daily build quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

reboot

DISCLAIMER: this is development preview do not install if you don't know exactly what you are doing
